Common mistakes with NAD83(2011) / RMTCRS Fort Belknap (ft)
- Easting and northing swapped. In NAD83(2011) / RMTCRS Fort Belknap (ft) the middle of the grid is near easting 555,328.21 and northing 454,088.13. If your easting column holds numbers like 454,088.13, the columns are the wrong way round and every point lands far away: swap them before converting.
- Metres entered as feet. NAD83(2011) / RMTCRS Fort Belknap (ft) is in international feet. Enter the values as they are; converting them to metres first puts every point in the wrong place.
- Forgetting the datum. NAD83(2011) / RMTCRS Fort Belknap (ft) is not on WGS 84: treated as WGS 84, no shift (the datums agree to about a metre or better). Picking a WGS 84 grid with the same projection instead leaves the points off by that amount.
- Points outside the grid's area. NAD83(2011) / RMTCRS Fort Belknap (ft) is meant for United States (USA) - Montana - Fort Belknap Indian Reservation area. Points well outside that area convert with growing error; the converter flags them so you can choose the right grid.
- A local site grid. If every point is off by the same distance and direction, the drawing may be on a local site grid. Calibrate on three or more known control points instead.
